Lingbo is a dual-title Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Political Science and Social Data Analytics (SoDA) at Pennsylvania State University. Her research develops a new framework for understanding trade politics by identifying supply chain-based political cleavages among firms. She investigates how global supply chains shape corporate responses to transnational regulations, especially in the areas of climate governance and economic sanctions, using firm-level data and text-as-data techniques. Additionally, Lingbo works on computational methods, with a focus on deep learning for semantic stance analysis.
